Crossing the famine: The hunter's wife has good farmland

However, after the seeds were planted, the source of water for irrigating the fields became a problem.

They are not just planting a small amount of crops. They can just carry two buckets of water and be done with it. These fields require a lot of water every day just to water them.

When they first settled here, they considered the issue of water sources. There was a river passing not far from their tribe.

Mo Xiaonian took Yue Lu to have a look, and then made some plans to dig a canal that would lead directly to the fields.

"Look, grandma, we can reach our fields by digging a straight line from here. The canal must be dug deeper and wider, and some stones and mud should be placed on both sides. When we need water, we can move the stones away to let the water flow into the canal. When we have enough water, we can block it with stones. In this way, we can control the amount of water."

Ever since Yue Lu started farming with Mo Xiaonian, she felt that her brain was not enough.

"I really didn't expect that there is so much knowledge in this kind of field! It's much more complicated than hunting!"

"That's right. I've discovered that it's not easy to grow crops. It's not as simple as I saw in the game!"

"Game? What's a game?"

Mo Xiaonian realized that she had let the cat out of the bag, and smiled as she took Yue Lu's arm.

"It's okay, grandma. It's just a little game I invented. Now it seems that we don't have enough manpower. Look at how tired Fu Cang and the others are every day. I really don't want to use them."

"Then let me do it. I'll lead Luhua, Yinzhi and the others to do it. You don't have to do anything. You just need to command us."

Mo Xiaonian shook his head with a heavy expression.

"Some jobs still need men to do them."

The two men were worrying by the river when Xiao Tu came over leisurely with them.

"Great Elder Yuelu, Goddess, what are you doing here?"

"Chief Xiao, are you okay?"

"Ah, the house is almost built, so I took my brothers out for a walk. The place you found is really great, with beautiful mountains and clear waters. It's just that hunting is a bit troublesome. It can't be compared with the time when we were in the mountains before. It seems that there are not as many prey as then. I think after our two tribes came here, we may not be able to eat enough just by hunting! By the way, Great Elder, I see you women are messing with the soil every day. What are you doing?"

Yuelu didn't want to tell them about his tribe, so his expression turned cold.

"Why are you asking about this? Just focus on your tribe's business."

"Don't misunderstand me, Great Elder. I just want you to remember us if you have any good things. We came here together with each other's support. It is said that brothers fight tigers together..."

"Stop it! Xiaotu, I find you are quite shameless. Okay, if we really have something good, we will not forget you. But if our tribe has any problems, you must help us!"

"That's a must! In fact, we live next to you, and our two families' sense of security has increased a lot. This is called helping each other!"

Yue Lu didn’t have so much time to chat with Xiao Tu here. She nodded at him, then took Mo Xiaonian away.

"By the way, Xiao Nian, doesn't grandma still owe you six taels of silver? Last time I sold furs and pine nuts, I got two taels of silver. I originally wanted to collect the six taels and return it to you, but now it seems that I can't collect it in a short time, so I will return the two taels of silver to you first, and I will give you the rest when I have enough."

"I don't want it. I'm not short of money right now, but you guys are very short of money. You should keep it for now.

Grandma, I have an idea. Didn't Xiaotu say that there are not many resources in the mountains and they may not be able to support our two tribes? Otherwise, what do you think? Let the women in our tribe who have lost their men, or the men who are injured and are no longer suitable for hunting in the mountains, start farming this year.

I'm worried that if they really rely on hunting, those people won't be able to support themselves."

Speaking of this, Yuelu also showed a worried look.

"You've hit the nail on the head. I've had this idea in my mind for many days. But can you provide so many seeds? And if we grow so many vegetables, what if we can't sell them?"

Mo Xiaonian thought of her own space mall.

She can eat all the vegetables and grains she grows in the space, so if they have extra grains and vegetables grown in their fields, can they exchange them for points, and then exchange them for what they need from the mall?

If that's the case, it would be great. Her space mall has all kinds of food, clothing and daily necessities. It's like a large shopping mall. If the things grown in the real fields can really be brought in, then their tribe can be completely self-sufficient and can reproduce and thrive without any outsiders.

Mo Xiaonian suddenly became excited.

If you think about it this way, the prospects for her space are simply unlimited. Now she just has to wait for the vegetables in her field to grow and then see if she can redeem points in the mall.

"It's okay, grandma. I will definitely find a way to sell everything we grow! I'm very motivated now. Let's start digging the canal now!"

"Oh, you can't do this job. Since what you are doing is for the benefit of our entire tribe, it doesn't make sense for us to do it alone. I will go back and announce to them that no matter whether they grow crops or not, every family must send one person to dig the canal for me!"

Mo Xiaonian just likes Yue Lu’s domineering look. The most important thing is that she finally doesn’t have to work anymore!

Yuelu's words were still effective in the tribe. Although everyone was extremely busy, every family still sent a laborer to help them dig canals, and many families also expressed their desire to open up wasteland and cultivate land.

All of a sudden the whole area became completely lively, and with more people coming, Mo Xiaonian no longer had to work at all. These people were all rushing to help her, and the canal was dug very quickly.

On the day when the canal was open to water, everyone in the tribe came to see it. As they watched the water flow into the fields, they couldn't help but cheer.

I don’t know why, but they felt so excited. For the first time, they had an idea about farming!
